Show HN: Reverse Minesweeper
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Sunflowers is a logic puzzle game where all numerical clues are visible from the start, requiring deduction to place flowers.
The game offers five difficulty tiers (Easy through Insane) based on the logical techniques required to solve each puzzle. The solver uses basic, subset, overlap, what-if, and either-way deductions, with harder grids forcing longer deduction chains. Difficulty sliders let users tune puzzle generation, and the 0-100 score places grids within their tier band. Zero-clue tiles follow tier-specific rules. The generator tries up to 90 candidates per click, serving the closest match if exact settings can't be met.
What commenters are saying
Commenters found the game fun and well-designed, with several noting it resembles games like Mosaic, 0h h1, and Binoxxo. Some debated the 'reverse minesweeper' label, arguing it's more like expedited minesweeper with all clues visible. Several users reported completing Insane puzzles easily, while others found Extreme challenging. The developer acknowledged the hint system needs improvement and thanked for feedback. Some commenters initially thought guessing was required, but others pointed out logical solutions exist for every puzzle.
